Ltd. in an Ocean Outlets Seaside kiosk, offering high end cos-

DEC to build new headquarters
Officials at Delaware Electric
Cooperative have announced ini-
tial plans to begin new construc-
tion and remodeling at the Green-
wood headquarters, with ground-
breaking set for the spring of 1996
and an anticipated occupancy in
July, 1997.
The last remodeling effort at
DEC took place in 1961 when the
Co-op had about 12,000 con-
sumers. Today, the Co-op serves
over 50,000 customers in rural
Kent and Sussex counties. Incor-
porated in 1936, the Co-op built a
new structure in 1941 and current-
ly operates out of part of that orig-
inal facility.
Titled "Building for a New
Generation", the project will fea-
ture a much-needed drive-in pay-
ment window, more consumer
parking, better .traffic flow both
inside and outside, one-stop con-
sumer services whenever possible
and compliance with all require-
ments of the Americans with Dis-
abilities Act.
A $3.8 million budget has been
approved along with George-
town's French & Ryan Architects,
who will design and oversee the
project. The Co-op will remodel
its services and warehouse facility
and eventually construct a new
structure where the present front
office is located on Rt. 13.
DEC General Manager Paul Bi-
envenue said: "The existing facil-
ity is extremely inefficient opera-
tionally with increasing mainte-
nance costs and inadequate condi-
tions for both consumers and em-
ployees. We are building for a
new generation of consumers and
our service area continues to ex-
perience significant growth."
DEC will hold consumer open
houses from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Sat-
urday, July 15 and Thursday, July
20. This will give Co-op mem-
bers a chance to ask questions and
gain an understanding of the need
for the project.

Delaware student, went on to the
New York City Fashion Institute
of Technology and worked on
Seventh Street there, as well as in
Milan, Paris and London.
"But her real inspiration came
from Indonesia - its artistry and
craftsmanship - as well as the
beauty of the country," Mumford
said. Her geometric and interest-
ing pieces start at an unbelievable
$12.
For those in search of a more el-
egant look, there are classic pearls
and cabochons, from three strand
chokers to those your mother may
have worn to the prom.
The pre-Columbian pieces,
which are made in Peru, look as if
they belong in the Metropolitan
Museum of Art and even come
with a history of that particular
design.
The "tumi" knife bracelet, for
instance, is comprised of a num-
ber of these small implements
which were used to cup up food,
and even perform surgery. A
Mochica swirl design represents
spring and wildflowers and was
found on the headdresses of the
nobility.

A necklace, bracelet anti, earring
ensemble of owls repreSentg the
inner nightand world, bwls
were the icon of life and dth,
who was victorious and who was
defeated in battle. Who knew
owls were so fraught with mean-
ing?
Any of these elaborate pieces
would look at home at a Broad-
way opening or dinner out on the
town in Rehoboth Beach.
A shopper on a tight budget
(who isn't?) might be afraid to
venture into Jewels, Ltd., under
the impression that it is an actual
jewelry store from what is seen in
the display cases from the outside.
But don't be fooled by appear-
ances.
The price of most items ranges
from $15 to $90 to a high of $150
for the more intricate vermeil
pieces.
"I've had people come in and
ask me to fix a bracelet or to tight-
en up a loose stone," said the for-
mer Dewey Beach Club bartender,
who also spent a number of years
in the real estate business before
settling in to raise her two chil-
dren.
"You can save anywhere from
twenty to fifty percent off depart-
ment store prices. I don't think
there is anywhere in Sussex Coun-
ty that handles this variety of jew-
city," Mumford said.
The cubic zirconium studs, for
instance, are $30 for one carat and
$45 for two, a far cry from the
second mortgage one would need
to pay for the real thing.
"I also want to emphasize that
these are In'st quality items - not
seconds - and the styles are totally
up to date, not last year's sensa-
tions," Mumford said, and cater to
every taste and occasion.
Jewels, Ltd. will be open year
round and is located near Christ-
mas Tree Hill in the Ocean Out-
lets.
